# Plugins Archive
This repoistory contains an Ansible playbook that will use `plugins.json` from
[pidgin.im](https://pidgin.im/plugins) to download every known plugin.
The primary use case for this is for archival purposes but it's also used to
look for issues with the list itself. It is also useful as you can simply grep
the source code of all plugins at once.
## Prerequisites
You will need about 1.3GB of disk space as well as the following programs
installed for this run properly:
* bzip2
* bzr
* cvs
* git
* gzip
* mercurial
* subversion
* tar
* unzip
## Running
Running the playbook can be done with the following command:
```
ansible-playbook plugins.yml
```
This will take a bit to run based on your internet connection and the external
hosts.
